Thread: 9mm - Factory ammunition (reliability)

Is Maxxtech that steel cased stuff sold by Gun shitty?

If so a guy on the line next to me had several fail to fires with it but it could've been a dirty gun...

No probs with PMC Bronze here either and the Speer Lawman fed fine too

Pretty sure it is brass, but not suitable for reloading. It was literally the only 9mm ammunition on the shelf. Only bought two boxes of 50, so will put them through then go onto the Belmont stuff.

** Re-loading Note: These cases feature a .035" internal sleeve that serves to both reinforce the case in the head area, and to prevent bullet set-back. This sleeve comes to within .210" of the case mouth and is easily seen during a case inspection. This sleeve reduces the available case volume and as a consequence powder charge that would duplicate a factory load in a normal case will produce high pressures in the MAXXTECH brass. With a proper powder charge, this brass might be a great idea, however, regular published 9mm data should not be used in this brass! **
